OneAccord 2026
OneAccord 2026 will gather leaders from across the Accord Network around a simple but countercultural idea: success in God’s kingdom isn’t measured only by growth charts and “up-and-to-the-right” metrics. This year’s theme, Faithful Through Change, invites us to rediscover faithfulness as the true marker of success in ministry. Together we will encourage one another, share wisdom from the field, and remember that our calling is not first to results, but to obedience.
